CONSUMER SAFETY ALERT

The sides of the crib are made of mesh that expands, creating a gap between the side and the crib's mattress if it's not zipped into place, or a gap between the side and an added mattress. A young child can slip into this gap and become entrapped or suffocate. Also, the crib's drop side can fail to fully latch posing a fall hazard to young children.
